0

Chelsea have signed England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton on a free transfer following her Aston Villa exit.

Hampton's two-year spell with Villa ended this summer at the conclusion of her contract, with the 22-year-old making 43 appearances in all competitions for the club.

She now joins Zecira Musovic, Ann-Katrin Berger and Emily Orman as the goalkeepers in Emma Hayes' title-winning squad.

After signing for Chelsea, Hampton said: 'I'm very excited! It's a massive club, it's an honour to be a part of this and to be able to wear the club's badge. I want to keep improving, to help the team however I can and I'd love to win some trophies with the club at the same time."

Manager Emma Hayes added: "There is no doubt that Hannah is one of the best young goalkeepers in the world. Her performances have been improving year on year, and we have high hopes for her future with us."

Hampton is also in the 23-player England squad for the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand that kicks off this month, with the Lionesses flying to the tournament on Wednesday.
